In the third round of the FA Cup, Bristol City will play Swansea City at Ashton Gate on Sunday, January 8.
After a decent start to the season, the hosts have had a mostly bad season. In their most recent match, Bristol and Coventry City played to a 1-1 draw. The Robins ended a 17-game goal drought with an equalizer from Antoine Semenyo midway through the first half.
Last season, Bristol lost 1-0 to Fulham to reach this stage of the FA Cup, and they will hope for better luck this time around.
Swansea, on the other hand, has also had problems this season but still thinks they can make the playoffs.
The Swans lost 2-1 to league leaders Burnley in their first game of the new year after finishing 2022 on a high with a 4-0 victory over Watford. In the first 25 minutes, they gave up two stunning goals, but Oliver Cooper made it 2-1.
